A successful example of the integration of contemporary architecture in the City of London is 52 Lime Street, also known as "The Scalpel". The 190-metre office tower designed by the architects of Kohn Pedersen Fox (KPF) is an impressive building. The facade glass came from AGC Interpane.
Climate change is leading to more frequent hot spells today, while at the same time demands for daylight transmission are increasing. In response, AGC Glass Europe has expanded its solar control glass range to include three new "Stopray" coatings that are highly selective, colour neutral and low reflective.
At BAU 2023, AGC Pyrobel focused on very slim fire-resistant glass structures with high light transmission and optimised thermal insulation. This is now possible thanks to the combination of Pyrobel with Fineo vacuum glass. Another topic was fire-resistant glass in XXL formats (Pyrobel-T) as well as delicate glass partitions without disturbing mullions.
AGC and Saint-Gobain, two leading global flat glass manufacturers, have announced that they are collaborating on the development of a pioneering pilot flat glass line: The new line is designed to significantly reduce direct CO2 emissions from glass production. Here are the details.
AGC Glass Europe is now launching the distribution of its new float glass "Low-Carbon Planibel Clearlite" with a carbon footprint reduced by more than 40 per cent. This is the Group's response to the growing demand for more climate-friendly building materials and reduces the impact of its manufacturing processes on the road to carbon neutrality.
AGC Glass Europe's new Stratophone sound insulating glass is multifunctional. The glass improves indoor comfort by protecting against noise pollution (Rw up to 53 dB) in residential and commercial buildings, while providing thermal insulation up to 0.5 W(m2K). Find out how the glass meets other important requirements here.
The market for LSG and laminated glass is on the rise: AGC Glass Europe is investing in the construction of a new LSG production facility in Osterweddingen, just south of Magdeburg, Germany. The investment is over 10 million euros. Here are the details.
AGC and EyeLights have teamed up to develop an augmented reality (AR) windscreen that will enable safer driving in cars. Read about the possibilities offered by the combined windscreen and display technology.
